Social Housing Tenancies - Rent Rebate

Housing NSW and the Aboriginal Housing Office do not have to give 60 days written notice to change a tenant’s rent rebate. If you want to dispute a change to your rent rebate, you can appeal to the Housing Appeals Committee (you cannot apply to the Consumer Trader and Tenancy Tribunal about it).

If your rent rebate is cancelled, you can apply to the Consumer Trader and Tenancy Tribunal for an excessive rent order (see above). Contact your local Tenants Advice and Advocacy Service if you have any questions about or problems with social housing rent increases or rent rebates.
